Akselerasi teknologi informasi memicu adanya kesenjangan digital (digital divide) di tingkat pedesaan akibat rendahnya literasi teknologi pada masyarakat non-produktif dan aparatur desa. Program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PKM) ini bertujuan mengatasi kendala operasional perangkat digital, kerentanan siber, serta mengoptimalkan administrasi publik di Desa Perapat Janji, Sumatera Utara. Melalui pendekatan Community-Based Education, program diwujudkan lewat dua klaster utama: Digital Literacy Academy untuk warga umum serta E-Government Literacy Workshop bagi aparatur desa. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan dampak kuantitatif yang signifikan. Skor rata-rata literasi digital masyarakat umum melonjak sebesar 85,4%, naik dari nilai pre-test 42,5 menjadi 78,8 pada post-test. Sementara itu, kompetensi psikomotorik aparatur desa meningkat dari 48,0 menjadi 87,5, dengan tingkat keberhasilan 100% dalam pengarsipan berbasis cloud. Program ini berhasil mempercepat transformasi desa menjadi lebih cakap digital serta meningkatkan efisiensi layanan sosial kedesaan yang adaptif terhadap perkembangan teknologi. The acceleration of information technology has triggered a significant digital divide in rural areas due to low digital literacy among non-productive communities and village officials. This Community Service (PKM) program aimed to overcome operational digital device limitations, cyber vulnerabilities, and sub-optimal public administration services in Perapat Janji Village, North Sumatra. Utilizing a Community-Based Education approach, the project implemented two main initiatives: the Digital Literacy Academy for the general public and the E-Government Literacy Workshop for village officials. The evaluation showed significant quantitative impacts. The general public's average digital literacy score jumped by 85.4%, increasing from a pre-test score of 42.5 to 78.8 in the post-test. Meanwhile, the psychomotor competence of village officials rose from 48.0 to 87.5, achieving a 100% success rate in cloud-based digital archiving. This program successfully accelerated rural transformation toward digital proficiency and enhanced the efficiency of adaptive village social services.
